"This technique can engage lower-end students for a time. Be careful not to let the 'newness' of using cell phones in the classroom become routine."
"The younger the audience, the more likely there will be problems. Make sure you have rules in place about exactly when and how cell phones can be used during a lesson."
"Instructors who have experience with this should lead other teachers in professional development of using cell phones in the classroom. This technology has the possibility of being a game changer."
"My kids loved doing this! It was nice to see them so alert for a change."
"This can be a powerful tool. I do catch kids abusing the system, but more kids are engaged than are not."
